Do white chickens lay a brown egg periodacally?
The feather color of a chicken does not affect the color of the eggs she lays. It is the breed of the hen that determines the egg color. A chicken that lays white eggs does not drop a brown egg every now and then either, a white egg layer will always lay white eggs. I have several white Araucana hens who lay Lavender colored eggs and a Black Cochin hen who lays light brown eggs (not black eggs)

Why would an egg white be brown?
There shouldn't be white IN the yolk of an egg. The white should surround the yolk within the egg shell. The yolk (yellow bit) is what transforms to become a chick in a fertile egg. The white (albumen) is what the developing embryo feeds on.

No. You cannot tell the color of eggs the chicken will lay by the color of their feathers. I have green egg laying chickens called Araucana's and they are not green chickens.

Why eggs are brown?
It depends on the breed of the chicken. It is a genetic trait. A rule of thumb is to look at the earlobe of the chicken, and that is roughly what the eggs will look like. The White Leghorn breed lays most of the white eggs. The brown eggs come from the Rhode Island Red, the New Hampshire and the Plymouth Rock. The reason brown eggs cost more is because the hens are a little bigger and tend to need more care. Plus there is the urban legend saying they are healthier, so naturally, stores will charge more since more people want them. Brown eggs are not any healthier than white eggs. Egg colors are not limited to white and brown. There are also blue and speckled eggs, though they are hard to find in stores. Those come from the Aracuna breed.

What makes brown chicken eggs healthier for human consumption than white chicken eggs?
Nope! The only difference between brown eggs & white eggs is the shell's colour. Happy Egg Eating! Absolutely NOT! The only difference in shell color is the breed of chicken that laid it. If the hens were fed the same diet, brown-shelled eggs and white-shelled eggs are the same. Thete ARE some people who swear that they taste differently. Unfortunately for them, taste tests have consistently proved that those people CANNOT tell the difference.
What color of eggs do white chickens come from?
The White Leghorn, or one of its many crosses, will normally come from a white egg, but that doesn't mean white chickens only come from white eggs, nor that white eggs only produce white chicks. White Silkies come from beige or pink eggs. White Easter Eggers might come from blue, green, pink or dark brown eggs. I've had several white, bearded chickens come from olive colored eggs. The original color of a chicken egg is blue. Naturally occurring genetic mutation has eliminated the blue color (white egg) or added brown (green, beige, pinks, chocolate, speckled, brown). It's just the color of the shell and generally has no connection with the coloration of the bird other than some breeds consistently lay a certain color of egg - again back to genetics.
